UK-based masters of depressive metal, Eye Of Solitude, have just announced a string of live dates with country-mates The Drowning and the Netherlands' Faal. The tour will take place from June 4th - 9th and will see the party come to the UK, Netherlands and Belgium. Dates are as follows:

This will mark the second tour for Eye Of Solitude in support of its critically acclaimed third full-length release "Canto III," and will see the band introduce its new live line-up since its keyboard player, Pedro Caballero-Clemente has parted ways with the band for personal reasons. Eye Of Solitude has opted against finding a replacement and will remain a quintet.

In other Eye Of Solitude news, the band is currently in the pre-production stage for a brand new EP to be released later this year. This new EP will be a special project, darker than anything they've done before. The release will serve as gift to their fans and an appetizer for the next full-length, set to see the light of the day in 2015.

Welsh mournful doom metal band The Drowning has released it's third full-length album "Fall Jerusalem Fall" on Casket Records/Bombworks.
